I went out yesterday for a quick ride around a nearby province. Sun was out and the weather was not too hot. Had a blast with the 959!

Here are some pics:

Green...I haven't seen green in a while and almost forgot what it looked like. :crying:

Planning any long weekend rides?

@aksdman, Are you from Canada since you mentioned nearby province? The scenery looks amazing, winter here needs to go away!

@Dingo / @gurneet: I'm from the Philippines and the nearby province I mentioned was Bataan - a very historical site with regards to WWII events. I live inside a Freeport Zone which encompasses 2 Provinces and 7 Towns/Municipalities so I am blessed enough to be able to go from town to town on a regular basis. Only problem is the heat! It's 36 degrees celsius here and it sometimes goes up to 40 and when that happens, the riding gets pretty much uncomfortable.
@VroomVroom: I'm enjoying the grass for as much as I can coz it's gonna turn brown sometime soon! That place where I had the 5th pic taken was burned down completely a few months ago because of a forest fire. Glad to see that the grass has grown back again!

I'm planning to do an overnight ride to Banaue Rice Terraces (8th wonder of the world, I think), through Baguio ( the summer capital of the Philippines) soon. I'll be posting pics again here.

great shots of the bike and the scenery!

are you going to add on anything else to the bike?

@redrocket / Jeff959: Thanks for the kind words guys!

I'm waiting for my T-Rex Sliders to come in as well as my Seat Cowl. I'm also swapping the wheels but I am on the fence with regards to getting BST Carbon Wheels or OZ Gold Forged Wheels for the 959. I plan to have everything in before the middle of May since I will be doing trackdays by then. Oh by the way, I also ordered track fairings and I'm currently looking at designs/paint schemes for it.

I'm also deciding on whether to swap my exhaust to an Akra but I'm very happy with the stock under-belly exhaust that I had swapped recently.

You're very welcome!

Sweet, I can't wait to see all the add ons ! update us with some pics!

I'm a big sucker for Carbon fiber if you had ask me, I would go with that

It's less common too, seems like others already got the gold one:

Akra sounds so badass though! It'll be cool if you did swap it, but the original sounds like a beast as it is. haha :grin2:
